Ian Drury and the BlockHeads

Charlie Charles on drums, Norman Watt-Roy on bass and Wilko Johnson on guitar and an almost dead Ian Drury singing like he'd live forever.
RIP Ian, RIP Charlie.

It was a London Palladium cancer benefit and Drury was skin and bones by then. he soon died of colorectal cancer.

First time I ever saw a singer actually pack his shit and leave.
Thanx for posting. Never saw that vid.

He toured the Eastern U.S. with an early Stiff tour, but never made it out here (Los Angeles) AFAIK.
